searchCollector The Foundation for Advanced Ecommerce Search Tracking
The first ecommerce search tracking tool exclusively focused on capturing anonymized customer search journeys to drive AI intelligence.
Framing the Problem
Setting the Stage
The fundamental limitation of traditional search analysis is its fragmented, incomplete view of customer behavior. Most systems capture only isolated search events without the surrounding context of the full customer journey. To complicate matters further, other systems capture complete sessions instead of individual search journeys.
Isolated Events
Capturing only search queries without context
Complete Sessions
Missing individual search journey details
The Result
Both lead to a dishonest view of real-world search behavior.
Data Fragmentation is the Problem
This fragmentation creates critical blind spots for revenue owners. Without understanding how search connects to browsing, cart additions, and purchases, optimization efforts target symptoms rather than root causes – leading to incremental improvements when transformative changes are possible.
This Threatens Ecommerce Growth
Independent research shows many retailers still measure the wrong things: Econsultancy reports most teams default to vanity metrics, and UX leaders like Nielsen Norman Group stress the need for proper outcome-based KPIs. Baymard’s research, meanwhile, finds search UX gaps at scale (e.g., 41% of sites fail to support common query types) – clear signs that search performance still isn’t measured in ways that reflect real business impact.
